Team Overview:
For a team that went 1-15 in Big 12 play last year, there are a few reasons for optimism in 2009-10. Foremost among those reasons is the return of super-stud Cory Higgins. The do-everything junior is one of the better returning players in the country and is skillful enough to help propel Colorado to a few more conference wins this season.
Expect Newcomers Alec Burks, Shane Harris-Tunks, Keegan Hornbuckle, and Marcus Relphorde to pay big dividends for Head Coach Jeff Bzdelik who is trying to steer these Buffaloes to the NCAA Tournament in his third season at the helm.
Team Leaders:
Points: Cory Higgins 23.3
Assists: Nate Tomlinson 4.0
Rebounds: Nate Tomlinson 4.7
Best Player:
Cory Higgins G 6-5 190 JR
Higgins is the Buffaloes most complete player, shooting 70% from the floor and 67% from Three.
My Take:
This is not going to be an easy game, this one will be decided at the end. I think Colorado is a lot better this year than people have given them credit for. I expect our defense to struggle with Cory Higgins and Alec Burks.
Final Score: Gonzaga 72 Colorado 65
